Marc Márquez arrives at the German GP, which will take place at the Sachsenring circuit, with the aim of making history. The Ducati rider has won this event on 12 occasions and this weekend seeks to equal the record of 13 victories set by Giacomo Agostini, a motorcycle legend.
Following his return from injuries in Mugello, Márquez has regained his form with two spectacular victories at Balaton Park and Brno, which has positioned him among the favorites for the title. His last commitment at Assen concluded with a seventh place, but he hopes the Sachsenring circuit will provide him with a better opportunity.
Historically, Sachsenring has been one of the most favorable circuits for Márquez, who has shown dominance over the 10 left-hand turns the track offers. This layout perfectly suits his strengths, helping him build one of the best records in motorcycle history.
From 2013 to 2019, Márquez achieved eight consecutive victories in MotoGP here, and has added one more victory in 2021 and another in 2025, during his first season with Ducati. However, his last appearance at Sachsenring was not easy, with several accidents forcing him to retire before the race.
Matching Agostini’s record would mean not only a new personal success for Márquez but also another step toward establishing his legacy in motorcycle history. With this goal, the MotoGP champion aims to start the summer break loaded with bonuses and ready to tackle the second half of the season with all his potential.
Agostini’s record is not limited to victories in the German GP; the Italian rider is also the one with the most wins at a single track at the top level, with 10 victories at Imatra. Márquez approaches this figure with his 9 victories at Sachsenring, and a new win would put him close to becoming one of the great names in motorcycle racing.
